Dumbest Website on the Internet Media Matters Thinks Tonight Show Spoof Video Was Created By FOX News

DUMBEST WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET STRIKES AGAIN–
George Soros might as well have taken that million dollars and thrown it out the window.
Media Matters embarrasses itself again. The far left website posted a video the other day slamming FOX News for creating a video that shows Sarah Palin punching Nicolle Wallace.
But there was just one problem.
The spoof video was created by The Tonight Show… Not FOX News.
They updated their post with this correction…
*CORRECTION: This clip’s original headline stated that “Fox’s Special Report creates special video of Sarah Palin punching Nicolle Wallace.” The video Special Report ran was originally from NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Media Matters regrets the error.
Boy, they sure are stupid.

The clip even displays “The Tonight Show” in the upper left hand corner.
Media Matters is beyond stupid.

ok, is this really true?
I am just having a hard time believing that media matter is truely this stupid…. its so obvious Fox News was playing a clip of the Tonight Show, Brett Bair even lays out the intro to that tonight show spoof before showing the comedy clip.

The only thing liberals like more than fawning over faux news (like Jon Stewart), is bloviating over Fox News. Color me unsurprised.
RefudiateObama2012 commented:
Your premise that this was an embarrassment for MM is flawed. One must have a modicum of ethical standards before they can experience embarrassment. MM has no ethical standards.
Valerie commented:
Awww, you guys are being too hard on Media Matters.
You know this story was just too good to check.
Lenny commented:
Check your “Dumbest” link. They got you back, Jim.
BuddyG commented:
Does Dan Rather work for Media Matters now ?
Chisum commented:
Lenny,
I think you have that backwards.
Color me surprised.

BG @ #13,
You may be on to something.

Too bad FOX NEWS is too busy reporting the news to do a spoof for the Tonight Show.

I heard a rumor that Media Matters was actually funded by Rupert Murdock, and was designed to discredit the left-wing.
According to the same ‘unnamed source’, it’s now believed that the Tea Party has infiltrated the highest levels of powerful left-wing organizations.
Their only logical choice now is to attack themselves.

Lenny how EXACTLY did they get JIM HOFT “BACK”. They made fools of themselves like mentally ill LIBTARDS do. Then when the MENTALLY ILL LIBTARDS get it shoved down their throats, they are too stupid to back away slowly. The double down. Media matters entire purpose is supposed to be exposing MEDIA BIAS. Well they had theirs exposed and they don’t like that.
Did I mention that LIBERALS are mentally ill.
Multitude commented:
Soros was overheard commenting “Damn it, we’ve got to get ourselves some smarter peasants.”
Sucks when the only people who buy your globalist oligarchical statism in “social progressive” clothing are dullards, nutballs and other defective societal rejects.

Had to do as you suggested. Man they truly are scared of anything Fox. Almost every story revolves around Fox and or their contributors. Even Jim Hoft gets a shout out. The whole site is a attack on anything conservative. Pravda would be proud of their Commie rants against American. I try to avoid going there not wanting to help their visitor count, but its always wise to know what the enemy is saying, and they are the enemy right here in our back yard.
Chisum commented:
Rock,
When you see trolls here talking about how dumb Jim is you know immediately where they came from.
They’re nothing but Soros sycophants and wannabes.
Ginger commented:
Any one know when Soros is going to kick the bucket?
bigL commented:
all this analysis by Media Matters, have been outsourced to India or Viet Nam. So they are not using native English speakers. Hence the repeated confusions in what they report.
They should use CNN’s Eugene Robinson. He speaks Ebonics and poorly. But at least he can read:
‘From the Tonight show with Jay Leno’ at the top of the screen.
Stuart commented:
Obviously the story is fake but accurate.

Sometime back I adopted the stance that regardless of stated ideology of any on the Left, that they are in fact traitors. It drives many of them nuts, and I feel accurately describes their conduct and/or agenda. I see absolutely nothing from the Left that has of yet changed that opinion. Much of what has been covered here and other sites on the Right is not new to me. My early education spoke to almost all of the changes we see taking place. All of my leadership and security training also addressed these same issue. And both noted that this was a threat to the Nation. Having served in many areas around the world I have seen no example of a successful nanny state agenda, and almost all have serious personnel freedom flaws. Which might explain why Obama see our Constitution has being flawed, given it restricts governments ability to dictate which freedoms we are allowed. But hey that’s just my opinion. Anyway thanks for your words and links always nice to have my believes reinforced from time to time.
Chisum commented:
Rock,
I got the impression from your comments that you were a warrior. Thank you for your kind words and keep fighting the good fight.

gastorgrab commented:
Soros is going to fake his own death only after the return from his investments into left-wing politics diminishes past a point of no return. (He’ll wait until he has all of their money.)
Remember, you cant cheat an honest man! If the left wasn’t so greedy in the first place, they couldn’t have been taken to the cleaners.

What a gas! Media Matter’s, which purports to monitor the media, “forgets” to monitor – i.e., omits monitoring – NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
This is not incompetence; it crosses the line and goes way into the domain of fraud.
AuntieMadder commented:
Did the link in “DUMBEST WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET STRIKES AGAIN” at the top of this blog post lead to the “Jim Hoft is the dumbest man blah blah blah” page at MM initially? Or did the nasty little bitches that run the site change the page names to redirect visitors from this site?
